[i](This scene was probably the worst scene since the start of the drama. The dialogue was fine, the actors were fine, but why is this so randomly in there? I mean, did anyone think for even a second that Jeremy and Minam were a plausible pairing? Did Jeremy really think for a second that there was any feeling from Minam’s side to reciprocate? Was the dramatic must-confront-Minam-and-then-run-out-and-fly-away-on-motorbike get-up in tune with the mood of the entire series thus far? Or does it feel way exaggerated?)
[/i]

Nah…I just think that they put this in in order to also put a closure in Jeremy’s end of the story. I mean, everybody who watched this could also have deduced that there was a great possibility that Jeremy looks at Minyeo in THAT way, so if the series ended without even a closure on his part, other people watching will question why is wasn’t taken care of.

Remember, these kinds of dramas must not have loose ends. Everything must be tidied up nice and tight (though Taiwanese dramas get the bag for this trait; everybody comes full circle in the plot, ex.: the rejected of leading pair comes about becoming a pair themselves…@A@)

I’m loving the recaps btw.
I’m only on episode 9 but already Minam is starting to get on my nerves… how is she so stupid? Or to put it politely how is she so naive there is no way, NO WAY a woman her age would be that slow… right?!

If you really want to get angry at a female lead watch any k-drama that has marriage as the central focus (single girl can't get married, girl is about to get married, girl wants divorce, etc.). That shit will piss you off! I tried watching a new(ish) drama called Creating Destiny and I wanted to rip my hair out five minutes into episode one. Ahem anyway, thank for the review/recaps. :)

Yes, I second you that too much (conflicts) were brought in (and some resolved hastily) during ep 13 and 14. It seems too rushed and I don’t see how they can fully resolve everything and develop the real Mi Nam beyond a 1 dimensional character stuck in to provide some closure. From Manager’s Ma description of him as well as that short 10 sec scene of him, he seems to be an interesting character. One that may even threaten Tae Kyung’s position as THE member in A.N.JELL. But with just 2 episodes to go, I don’t see much space to work out that potential. 18 eps would be good. But well, the real Mi Nam was never meant to be a major part of the drama anyways (and we can’t expect Park Shin Hye to act that part too much for it will be a real test of her acting).

Let’s see what the writers can do with 2 eps on hand. It had better not disappoint!

Can I just say I love how you end your recaps with Annnnd scene, it makes me chuckle every time.

As you mentioned its becoming more obvious by the second that this drama could do with a few more episodes, in fact I think it was written that way and the S.O.Bs at SBS or whatever pulled the rug from under the writer’s feet.

The pacing kinda went funky in the episode and I’m miffed off that a rare excellent drama is being given the heave-hoe whilst poo like IRIS is cluttering up the airwaves Grrr….its also annoying that at any other time this show would have been an massive hit (I think) anyway.

How cute is Taekyung in love? Loved loved loved the cinema scene and just anything where he and minam interact as lovers….just TOOOOOO CUTE!

Depressed as hell next week is the last two episodes and I don’t get to see what happens until Friday cos I’m away with work…..STRESS

i’m sorry but kdramas do give girls a bad name. OMG, I’m gonna kill Minam soon if she keeps up that cute, aigoo naive act. She started to grow a backbone when she confronted MHR but ultimately lost it when TK came. Ugh, only 2 more eps left and we’re still playing this love game between them. And MHR’s obsessive love is incredulous to me now. Like really, wtf is her problem, all we know is that she’s still in love with a dead guy after 20+ years? I don’t buy her whole motive or reasoning at all.
On the other side, I kinda understand why Jeremy thing happened here. They did give SW a bajillion scenes so I guess tying up loose end would require ending Jeremy’s crush as well. Oh thank god it went faster than SW. Speaking of him….boy got sassy on his way back. AND I LOVED IT (except the end when he reverts back to emo SW).
I agree with you that the whole ep is somewhat blah overall BUT the epicness of that fanfic scene totally saved the whole episode for me. I could care less about TK+MN or SW+MN anymore. Can’t wait until the brother comes back. He seems to be the real badass who’s going to blow everything out of the water based on that little smirk alone.
